Public, charter, pilot, parochial schools and home-schooled students are eligible to take part in BCYF's Bee this spring after they have won a Bee held at a Boston school. The program not only helps improve students' spelling skills and broadens their vocabulary, but also provides valuable experience in developing self-confidence.

To get involved, schools must register with Scripps National Spelling Bee online by December 31, 2023 at www.spellingbee.com/enrollment. An enrollment fee of $180 must be paid to Scripps National Spelling Bee and a school spelling bee must be held on or before Friday, February 23, 2024. The winner's name and bio form must then be submitted to BCYF by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 23, 2024.
